1 Tim. 4:6      1 Tim. 4:8

First letter to Timothy 4:7

But reject (avoid, have nothing to do with) the myths (fables, legends) of ungodly and old women.
[May refer to Jewish legends such as the apocrypha or Gnostic ideas. In Ephesus in particular, there was widespread worship of Mother Earth. The term "old women" was also used for "wise women." They were female priestesses who passed on these legends in these religions.]
Instead, train yourself in godliness.
